About

This site is dedicated to the Japanese watch industry. It is designed to share some of the less commonly heard stories, helpful resource materials, historical details and my general related thoughts. The site name references the GMT timezone for Japan.

I have been collecting Japanese watches since 2008 when I first visited Japan. Since this time I have been impressed with the technologies and developments that have come from the Japanese watch industry.

While I am interested in the whole Japanese watch industry and how it fits into the larger global industry my main interest has been with Seiko Corporation and its evolution.
